I'm on vacation until later this month. Make sure Trump doesn't do anything crazy while I'm gone.

What, you thought I was going to blog on my vacation? You gotta be nuts! Nuts!

I'll be in Europe, checking out some stuff. Maybe I'll blog about it when I get back, later this month. Maybe Trump will inflate the trade war he has already launched against our allies into a shooting war, and I won't be able to get back. These days, nothing would surprise me. In fact, I'd welcome two days in a row without any surprises.

Anyway, don't expect me to post. And don't expect me to moderate any of your bright — or not so bright — comments.

I'll deal with that when I get back. Got that?

Who am I going with?

Fuhgeddaboudid. But maybe I'll tell you when I get back.

Or not.
